Teen Shoots His Own Testicles.
A Vallejo teenager allegedly shot himself in the testicles Thursday afternoon, police said.
Police said the 17-year-old, whose name is being withheld because he's a minor, walked into Kaiser Permanente Vallejo Medical Center at about 5:45 p.m. with a gunshot wound.
This is just horrible! And given the homophobia in this country, I sincerely doubt if he were straight, he would have taken this desperate measure. Such desparate acts are usually due to homophobia internalised so deeply, one must mutilate or even kill one's self, in order to "overcome" one's homosexuality.
WHEN IS THIS GOING TO END?????
OH, GOD!
WON'T SOMEBODY DO SOMETHING!?!?

Genital mutilation is an enormous problem within the transcommunity... even among adults. A friend recently described her feelings of hopelessness as she can't afford the surgery and feels she has to take matters "into her own hands." For the sake of this child and countless others, we must continue to speak out.
Thanks for speaking out.
